One of India’s most famous tennis players, Sania Mirza, said in a statement on Tuesday that she tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this year and is now fully recovered and feeling great.
Sania also shared her emotions about distance and being away from her two-year-old. The athlete said that this was the most difficult thing she had to face after testing positive for COVID-19. She also noted that the coronavirus is not a joke at all, and everyone should take all possible precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones.
“I contracted COVID-19 at the beginning of this year. Now I am already healthy and feeling absolutely good, but I just want to share my experience, I am lucky that for the most part I did not have any serious symptoms, but I was in isolation, and the hardest part was staying away from my 2-year-old and my family. I can’t even imagine what people and their families go through when people are sick in the hospital on their own. “
The tennis player said it was scary because no one can be 100% sure what to expect. And hearing so many different things and stories only adds confidence and you can start feeling new symptoms every day. And this uncertainty is extremely difficult to deal with, not only physically, but also emotionally.
Sania Mirza also said that after she got over it, she was lucky that it all went more or less well, but being away from her family and especially a small child was one of the scariest things not knowing when she could finally see them again. The coronavirus is no joke and Sania Mirza took every precaution she could but still contracted it.
“Everyone is involved in this fight and we are all together,”
she added.
